BACK TO
SCHOOL
This year's students came back to school on Aug. 20 and
again had many changes to deal with. For starters, GHS
had to get adjusted to another new schedule where we met
every class on Monday and the rest of the week have 3 or 4
classes in which we meet for 90 minutes at at time. Then
the administration switched the 6 week grading period to 9
weeks and we also had the never ending battle of getting to
know our teachers. In March we will have to put up with
construction workers and a major loss of space ( particu-
larly parking). For the most part, students adjusted well to
being back to school and appear to be having a good start
to the new school year.

CLUBS and ACADEMICS
Whether students paid 55 to join the Key Club, campaigned as future politicians for student
government, or maintained high academic and extracurricular standards to earn a NHS membership,
clubs covered all bases. As speech team members scrambled for practice slots with Coach Hemminger!
quiz bowl competitors buzzed their way through trivia questions. With activities ranging from thespian
initiations to late night consessions sales at sports events, clubs involved time and commitment during
GHS students' lives during his or her life between summers.
Goshen High School achieved the honor of becoming a four star school. A vast variety of creative
coarses were offered which suceeded to make GHS unique. In Writing Themes, students learned the only
way out is through reading, cover to cover, "The Grapes of Wrath." Bio Tech Students learned not to let
identifying bacteria like, bacillus and E-Coli, conjure up fear and self doubt (even when Chrystal Violet's
stain was dripping off the lab table after it was accidentally tipped over by her clumsy lab partner's
elbow). Creative Writing students stayed up late finishing fast minute stories after procrastinating all
weekend. While seniors frantically filled out college applications, others gathered vocational job
experience to prepare for building houses, cutting hair, typing memos, and many other post-high school
jobs. From getting to the third floor to class on time to zooming out of class when the bell rang, GHS
students created memories from A to Z in their life between summers.

Key Club is an international student service organization connected
with the adult version, Kiwanis Club. Key Club members provided
voluntary services to the community while gaining leadership opportu-
nities. Fundraisers, meetings, conventions, and work projects kept
members very active. The GHS Key Club began the new year, in
conjuction with the national goal, with the mission to wipe out Iodine
Deficiency by the year 2000. Many local projects were held, as well. In
the fall, members spent time ouside of school raking leaves for older
citizens of the community. Also, members took turns tutoring and
spending time with elementary kids at The Boys and Girls Club. They
attended Kiwanis meetings, including participating in happy hour, and
held fundraisers.

Students Aganist Driving Drunk, S.A.D.D., got off to a vibrant,
creative start with the first ever B.Y.O.B. Bannana Split Party. The
purpose of the gathering was to build unity within the group. S.A.D.D.
members worked hard to stop drunk driving. The club sponsored Red
Ribbon Week in October. In April, Members spent one afternoon
baking. Members took the homemade goodies to local law enforcement
officers to show their appreciation for dedicating their lives to helping
reduce the needless act of drunk driving. S.A.D.D. members enjoyed
clowning around at the Elkhart Women's Shelter's Health fair. Mem-
bers dressed up as clowns and provided face painting, and carnival
game. S.A.D.D. even sponsored a booth were information on drunk
driving was available. Many fund raisers, including concessions and
the yummy lip suckers, were held throughout the year.

Peer Assistance from Caring Teens is an organization composed of
fellow "peers" or classmates. PACT members took part in training
program during the summer led by counselor, Dori Keyser because
these students wanted to help others. Peer counselors are available at
all hours of the day to listen, offer possible solutions to conflicts, and just
be a friend. Each member of PACT took the challenge of mentoring one
to two children from an elementary school or the middle school. Mem-
bers also performed conflict resolutions during the year and the success
rate was so good that often times the same kids would come back when
faced with another trial. PACT, in cooperation with Student Council,
sponsored the Freshman Orientation. In addition, many members vol-
unteered and enjoyed spending a day at Camp Mack with eigth graders
and attending the end of the year party with the kids they mentored.
Dori Keyser is a nationaly recognized speaker for the Peer program,
GHS is fortunate to have her ability and knowledge on staff.

Buckle Your Bod, a club promoting seat belt use to achieve the school
population, performed a variety of activities to help their goal of almost
70% of the student body wearing seatbelts when each student arrives or
leaves the school. The club sent eight members to the annual Buckle You
Bod Conference at the Elkhart County Fairgrounds. Members enjoyed
hearing speakers , getting to know local law enforcement officers,
hearing ideas from other clubs, and receiving free stuff to help educate
students at GHS. The club raised money throughout the year by spon-
soring a student versus staff baseball game and selling t-shirts and
concessions at the game, but sadly the game was rained out. The club
sponsored Vince and Larry, safty dummies, at the Elkhart Women's
Health Fair.

Art Club is a fun and interesting outlet for students to show
their creative side. The club is open to all students both those
taking art class and those who don't have the oppurtunity to take
art classes. Under the leadership of Mrs. Joldersma, sponsor, and
student coordinators, Lee Green, Jen Oklak, and Amber Krebs Art
Club is made possible. Art Club Members spend occasional flex
time making pieces of art, such as jewelry and candles, for fun.
Some of the crafts, including hand-made ceramic mugs, were sold
as a fundraiser. The hard earned money went towards trips to art
museums in Indianapolis and Chicago. The trips were first open
to art club members and then to students taking art classes.

Chips and dip anyone? In exchange for the fine food and fellowship
offered periodically at the bi-weekly meetings, Drama Club members
worked to use their talents in the art of acting. The fall play, "It's a
Wonderful Life," and the spring musical, "Crazy for You," were made
successful by Drama Club members. Members contributed their skills
and enthusiaum both as actors, actresses, and doing many behind the
scenes jobs. Members did not stop there; other activies included the
successful Haloween in the Park, one-acts, and Beatnick Day. Drama
Club was opened to any student interested in developing his or her
talents in the art of performing, staging, managing, or simply support-
ing the fine Thespians found on the GHS Stage. Many Drama Club
Members were added to the International Thespian Society after acting
in at least one school sponsored performances, having worked behind
the scene and participating in the inticiation.
Students gather together in celebrating Christian Unity Day
sponsored by S.W.A.T. Members.
Students With A Testimony, S.W.A.T, is precisely what mem-
bers of the group are. The meetings focus on God and ways that
students can keep Him in mind, even in the chaos of a typical
school day. A variety of topics were discussed under co-chairmen
Jeff Blosser and Lee Green. Members worked to create an atmo-
sphere where students could talk about God and encourage one
another in their daily Christian walk. In addition to the Bible
study, S.W.A.T. sponsored a praise and worship opportunity.
Whether singing in the courtyard or gathering for a S.W.A.T. party
in a member's home the fun filled group was unified through their
beliefs and created many tresured memories during "Life Be-
tween Summers."

The word fun only begins to describe these academic creative French
Club members. Under the leadership of sponsor, Miss Maire, and Co-
presidents, Nick Carpenter and Tom Slabach, the club spurred the
development of knowledge and appreciation for the French culture.
The meetings provided a relaxed atmosphere with new exciting activi-
ties each time. From learning how to say familiar phrases in French to
decorating Valentine's cookies the group stayed energized. The club
tried to study a different province each time and with the culture aspect
carried withitthesamplingofdifferentfoodsincluding bon crepes. The
club raised money by working concessions and selling the famous
Toblerone chocolate. The money went towards the sponsoring of a
impoverished French speaking youngster in North Africa and attend-
ing the musical Les Miserables.

German Club Members began the year by sponsoring the
tradional Octoberfest celebration. This annual event was held on
a farm and included a hayride. The brave members of the club,
who were ready for a challenge, took part in a saurkraut eating
contest. As the school year progressed fundraisers including the
infamous Toblerone chocolate candy sales and conssessions at
school sports events kept the clubs budget open for many other fun
activities. The German Club Christmas party was one such event.
The highlight of the party, besides the food, was a video scavenger
hunt. Although the parties and being able to learn about another
country and its culture are good reasons for one to join German
Club, the friendships and the memories created are what kept each
active member faithful.

Learning knows no boundaries for these English as a Second Lan-

classes 125 students were assisted with their speaking and reading skills
while working one-on-one with teachers. At the same time, they were
enrolled in regular classes with English speaking classmates in order to
adapt to social and educational communities. When ESL teacher Ms.
Huber was asked for her feelings on the progress of her students she
responded with this positive remark "It amazes me to see them gain and
retain so much vocabulary and structure. They are very motivated and
have made huge improvements. Goshen High School is proud of them,
as well.

The Student Faculty Senate gives the students a much larger
voice in student activities. They act as a clearing house for all
school activities. This faithful group composed of both faculty and
student class officers, meets twice a month to make decisions and
give his or her input. In addition to the big group meetings the
senate is broken down into three separate commitees. Clubs and
Activities reviews charters and constitutions of clubs and through-
out the school year approves activities. A Fundraising Commitee
approves fundraisers for groups of clubs, including assigning
concessions. The Convocation commitee approves convocations.
This group of dedicated individuals always has a full agenda that
keeps each member busy.

Student Council
Student council members, Molly Caldwell and Cory Cook,
manned the booth at the eighth grade club fair.
The GHS Student Council consists of organized leadership
and serves as the general school population's voice. The ulti-
mate goal of the 1996-97 members was to get more students
involved and provide activities formed from the student body's
ideas and desires. Homecoming festivities included the popu-
lar annual dance that followed the game and the spirit week,
that preceded the game. In addition to the fun events such as
MORP and Mr. GHS, the council also gives back to GHS stu-
dents through Blood Donor Day, convocations, the canned food
drive, and the purchase of red ribbons for Drug Free Week. The
seven represenartives from each class were led by sponsor Mrs.
Cook and Student Body President Kristyn Yoder. In addition to
the elected individuals, the council provides an equal unbiased
representation by opening the council to anyone interested in
sharing his or her views and serving on at least one commitee.

The GHS Tomahawk Staff did it again! Under the leadership of
advisor Mrs. Yoder and editors Samantha Larimer and Miranda
Beverly the staff wrote, layed-out, and produced nine issues during
the 1996-97 school year. The arrival of the school newspaper is a
tradition around GHS. Eager students like Jodi Miller look forward
to the day the paper arrives because she enjoys it when teachers give
the last minutes of class to read the "heart beat of GHS." Around the
newspaper room, productivity, creativity, and debates on current
issues were always to be found. Exchange student Marija Pop-
Petrovska remembers when she was assigned her first story, fellow
staff member Fritz Stegmann helped her type the overwhelming task.
It was this teamwork that made the class able to publish the Toma-
hawk and be proud of the perserverence that went into it. The many
personalities combined with the teamwork built friendships and
memories that will far outlast this life-between-summers.

National Honor Society members contributed a lot to the
benefit of their fellow peers in the 1996-1997 school year. Each
member volunteered his or her time to tutor students during flex,
ring bells for the Salvation Army during the Christmas Season,
make phone calls to raise scholarship money for the Dollars for
Scholars program, and read to local elementary school children.
These projects are just a few of the activities the club took part in.
Samantha Larimer, secretary, when asked if she was proud to be
part of this group answered quickly and affirmatively explain-
ing, "National Honor Society members try to make a difference
by helping the lives of other students and citizens of the commu-
nity." This statemant has been proven true while at the same time
these self-disciplined, academic minded members maintain at
least a 3.5 grade point average.

G.H. S. Speech Team, "Let's talk about it," this moto held true for the
participants of the 1 996-'97 speech team. Under the leadership of coaches
Collins and Hemminger the members talked on a variety of topics using
many different forms. Events ranged from impromtu to duo and in-
cluded, others such as extempt, prose, and original oratory. This well-
rounded team composed of freshman through seniors, looked forward to
participating in speech meets and "would have liked to have been in-
volved in more of them," expressed first year team member Jonathan
Santeliz. The beeping of the alarm clock at five a.m. signaling your
departure and hurrying to the school so the team would not leave without
you, begins your meet day. Long van rides, complete with doughnuts and
"Sunny Delight," waiting around for your event only to find your extempt
file does not contain any of the information on the judge's chosen topic,
and meeting people from other schools are only a sample of the many
memories speech team members treasure from their life between sum-
mers.

"Science." For many people, this word conjures up the thought of
scary tests, labs gone wrong, and long nights of studying. For many,
however, science means an open door through which to view the world
in a new exciting way. A small handful of these people are part of a club
that through various competitions, wins many honors to make the
school proud.
Science Olympiad met a few days a week, during which the members
prepared for their events. Not all of this preparation was the "studying"
that might be included in memories of difficult science classes. Instead,
they also workedon building bridges and bottle rockets to find the best
design for competition day. They learned about the body in preparation
for questions and obstacle courses. All of the members' hard efforts paid
off at the end of the season when the group took a trip to Indianapolis
and each member received the chance to compete at the state level.

in many forms, from running the concession stand for spectators to
giving team members bubble gum at each game, these ladies gave
encouragement throughout the season to the players. The Baseball
player 's feel they are very meaningful to the baseball program . In
addition to chasing foul balls for the baseball guys, on a lucky day they
receive a coke and a hot dog for their efforts as well. Money from the
concession stand goes back to the athletic department for things like
new equipment and uniforms when needed.

The Athletic trainers: Crystal Myers, Lori Higginbotham, Jennifer Payne,

The athletic trainers are perhaps the most dedicated members of the
sports programs at our school. The trainers are extremely busy they
work year round, not just for one season. When school lets out, they go
to the training room and start taping ankles, wrapping muscles, and
bandaging cuts and scrapes. They also use high-tech ultrasound and
electric stimulation treatments to ease the aches and pains of our
school's athletes. They do play a large part in keeping the sports
program going and injure free. Their treatments help athletes with
healing when an injury or strain occurs. "Our job is fun, but sometimes
it gets hectic," says Lori Higginbotham.

SPIRIT CLUB
Spirit Club student leader, Heather Shank.
There have always been clubs like Keyclub and FCA that have been
around since the beginning of time. However, this year was the rebirth
of a hardly new idea, Spirit Club. With the help of first year teacher ,Mrs.
Mehl,and a few motivated GHS students the Spirit Club sparked school
spirit in each one of us which indirectly helped motivate the victorious
seasons of the cross country team advancing all the way to State and the
football team advancing to Regionals. From the first ever tailgate party
after the game, complete with the delicous delicacy of hot dogs, to the
caravan of decorated automobiles which traveled to the Concord foot-
ball game, and to initiating all school bonfires, the club produced a sence
of unity within the student body. The club has become an asset to
Goshen High School and hopefully, it will be the bread and butter of the
future.

A handful of caring, nature loving Goshen High School students
decided to unite together to form the E.C. O. Club, which is an acronym
for Environmental Concerns Organization. E.C.O. Club members in-
volved themselves with egological issues and ecouraged the student
body to share in the efforts, as well. Their goals are to be involved in
activities which promote better health to planet Earth. Hard working
members dedicated time to collecte used white paper and aluminum
can sin which they can be recycled. This challenge was met each week
by these faithful members. The club goals became a reality, which
helped our school, our community, our country and our world.

THE CRIMSON
MARCHING
BAND
The marching season for the Crimson Marching Band of
1996 was a great season. The show for this year was called the
"Divine Comedy" from Dante's Inferno. The band began the
marching season at the Bremen Invitational by scoring higher
than ever at the first contest. As the season continued the scores
kept getting larger. At Concord's Invitational the band finally
managed to beat Concord by 2.95 points. At Penn's Invitational
the band beat them again by at least five points. After Regionals
band members were excited about being ranked in the top two
spots in the entire state.
The Crimson Marching Band had more support the 1996
season from the student body then they have had in previous
years. Under the leadership of Director David Plank and drum
majors Kaylene Ascencio, Dan Brinkruff, and Benita Miner the
band battled it's way to the R. C. A. Dome in Indianapolis. The
long practices, hard work, and enthusiasm was rewarded by
placing fourth in the state and obtaining a first in music.
Members had fun, created memories, and made an
acomplishment that the student body was proud of .

IT'S A
WONDERFUL UFE
The Fall Play marked the end of a
tradition at GHS. It was the first time the
annual fall play was moved back until after
Thanksgiving. No, there wasn't a natural
disaster The change was made, according
to Mr. Cartwright and Mrs. Yoder, direc-
tors, to use the play's Christmas theme at
an appropriate time and to help spice up
holiday preparations in a warm way.
The well-known plot line of "It's a
Wonderful Life" was given a new twist as
GHS students incorporated their talents,
unique personalities, and enthusiasum into
their acting. The play was led under the
student direction of Brand ie Mershon.
Sophomore, Tom Kelley, starred as
George Bailey, a suicidal bank president,
who wishes he never would have been
born. As he is preparing to jump into the
icy waters below him Clarence (an angel
trying to earn his wings) Senior, Nick
Carpenter, convinces him that even when
he feels in the pit of despair "It's a Won-
derful Life."
The emotional play was given in three
separate performances over two weekends
making it possible for many to attend.
Mike Finnigan appreciated the change
because it meant spending more time with
his "keen drama club friends" which
certainly created memories in his

STRATFORD
"Out, vile jelly!" This quote was said
while gouging out an eyeball of an old
man in the play, "King Lear." "King
Lear," "Alice Through the Looking
Glass," "The Merchant of Venice," "The
Music Man," and an optional perfor-
mance of "Amadeus" were the plays
shown in Stratford, Canada this year.
The trip lasted from October 23 to
October 26.
The English class, Stratford, met
during the fall semester on Mondays
and Wednesdays after school. The fun
and relaxed class was team taught by
Mr. and Mrs. Cartwright, Ms. Yost, Ms.
Yoder, Ms. Neeb and Ms. Funk. After
much reading, group work, testing, and
the first paper was written the students
headed to Canada!
The students not only attended
extraordinary plays but had free time to
hang out. Whether students were
hanging out at the "Ten Day Cafe" or
making up their own musicals on the
famous "Tom Patterson Island" these
students created a trip with never
forgotten memories.

The 1997 spring musical, "Crazy For You,"
involved over 100 Goshen High School Stu-
dents making it one of the biggest musicals
ever preformed at GHS. Under the leader-
ship of directors, Marcia Yost and Susan
Yoder, 22 seniors, a full pit orchestra, and
members of the cast and crew gave this comi-
cal love story a new breath while perfecting
an air of professionalism.
Senior Nick Carpenter starred as Bobby
Child, an heir to a wealthy banking family
who yearns to be in show business. Bobby
ventures to Deadrock, Nevada with the goal
of foreclosing on a property. Ironically, when
Bobby arrives he finds that he is participating
in the foreclosure of a theater.
With his love of drama and the prospect of
winning his love, the owner of theater, Polly
Baker, played by Aimee Miller, serves as the
motivation behind saving the theater. In this
traditional happy ending the theater is saved
and Bobby and Polly admit they are crazy for
each other.
Although the plot is a love story, the com-
edy, puns, tap-dancing, costumes, and up-
beat tempo give the musical a dramatic flare.
GHS students sang and danced while mak-
ing history. The musical, preformed March
14, 15, and 16, maintained tradition by giv-
ing a sellout preformance on Sunday after-
noon, even after cramming in an additional
100 seats. -bv Jill Kreider

Marine
Once again the Marine Biology Class took
its 29 hour trip to the Florida Key of
Islamorada. On April 4th at 6:30A.M. the bus
was loaded and ready to go. The students,
children, parents, and teachers arrived at the
beautiful Oceana Resort around 1 1:30 on Sat-
urday afternoon. The hotel was in good
shape except a few people had trouble with
their back doors sticking.
The week was full of excitment. Everyone
soon became acquainted with the friendly
hotel staff and even joined them in a game of
beach volleyball. The large group of students
was divided into small eating and excursion
groups. Every day the small groups would
go snorkeling at one of the assigned loca-
tions. Once returning for the day the groups
would share with others about what they had
found. Rachel Parsons (Superwomen of the
group) showed no fear picking up Portu-
guese Man-of-War and hundreds of mating
horseshoe crabs.
At nightorrather4:00 A.M. selected groups
were chosen to go nocturnal collecting.
Biology
The students would wake up to go out to the
rock coast. There they flipped rocks over
looking for noctunal creatures. Some groups
were luckier than others and found many
animals. Sinja Eckert found a small jellyfish
stinging her leg.
One afternoon the entire group went to the
John Pennekamp State Park to snorkel at the
coral reef. After a 45 minute boat ride to the
final destination the students gladly jumped
into the water, some not knowing what to
expect. The water was clear and blue with
visibility to the ocean floor. A few of GHS's
students were caught in a photograph taken
by National Geographic viewing an under-
water statue of Jesus Christ. While loading
up the boat to leave, a four and a half foot
barracuda was spotted swimming directly
under the boat. All students made it safely
back on the boat with all thier body parts.
Marine Biology is a rigorous course but
the "hands on" experience and the devel-
oped friendships make enrolling in the class
worthwhile. - by Angie Leatherman

BUILDING TRADES
Goshen High School building trades
class hosted an open house on Saturday,
May 17, 1997. This year's house bostsl 664
square feet, three bedrooms, two-and-
one-half baths, a wood deck, as well as a
zero-clearance fire place. Students who
helped build the brick veneered ranch
can drive past the house for years and see
just what they accomplished in school.
Building Trades Teacher Pete Weddell
explains the program: "The class is es-
sentially divided in two halves, morning
and afternoon. Nine Students partici-
pating in the morning, and twelve in the
afternoon. The class meets for
approximatly two-and-one-half hours.
We begin a house in September and fin-
ish it in May." "Students learn building
trades industry -related skills such as
farming, trimming, concrete work,
drywalling, roofing, and the mechanical
areas of heating, plumbing, and electri-
cal systems," Weddell says. Many GHS
students are planning building trade ca-
reers through working for local contrac-
tors or continuing in school to prepare
for careers as plumbers and electricians.
Truly a "hands-on" learning experi-
ence building trades was, for many of its
students, the best part of the school day.

BAND
at DISNEY!
It looks like the enduring 24 hour bus ride to
Florida paid off after all. Monday morning at
planet Hollywood, a whole day at MGM Studios-
free to do what ever you wish and than hanging out
in the hotel until curfew began the band adventure.
(Remember members--a piece of tape was placed
on the crack of the door-broken tape meant some-
one broke curfew.) The next day spent at Magic
Kingdom, then marching in the "Spectra Magic
Parade"! Water parks, like Typhoon Lagoon, Epcot
Center, and pictures with Ewoks what memories!
One more event we can not forget, the three hour
sight reading workshop we took. We played songs
to Aladdin and heard it played as background
music to the actual movie! What better way than to
spend spring break having fun with friends, being
out in the sun, and getting credit for it too!

Fall
Convo
The fall convocation had a new, energetic
announcer this year. Mr. J.D. Russell got the
Redskins fired up for homecoming. He made the
rafters shake with his excitement. This year
the toilet-paper wrap game brought a lot of
enjoyment to the students and teachers. Of
course the Seniors won the event. The drum line
put on a great show. The fall sports for the
96-97 season were introduced along with this year's homecom-
ing king and queen candidates and their court.

Homecoming
Homecoming was, as usual, a week packed full of
spirit days and activities. This year's theme
was Hollywood. Appropriately named, the dress up
days were Disney Day, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen
Twin Day, Hippy Day, College Hat Day, and Big Red
Day.
Mid-week there was a convocation at which all
fall sports were recognized, the drum line
played, and the cheerleaders performed. This
year's homecoming court was introduced and vari-
ous relays and games were played. The entire
event was emceed by Mr. J.D. Russell.
The week ended in a victory for Goshen's foot-
ball team against Northridge. The floats paraded
around the track after many pre-game activities.
Each class had a different movie as their theme.
Freshmen represented Rocky, Sophomores Forest Gump, Juniors The
Wizard ofOz, and Seniors Saturday Night Fever. Cakes decorated
earlier in the week also featured each class's chosen movie. Over-
all winners of homecoming week were the seniors. At halftime,
the band performed and Kristyn Yoder and Dan Brinkruff were
named homecoming queen and king.

The 1996-1997 Cheerleading season began with a bang. The
squads started practicing for their summer competitions as soon as
school let out for the summer break. The J.V. and Varsity squads
both competed with stellar routines at both the Starke County Fair
and the Elkhart County Fair. The competition was tough, but
Goshen pulled off a clean sweep with the two squads walking
away with first place trophies from both fairs. The Freshman
squad competed at the St. Joe County Fair where they did an
outstanding job.
We will be losing three strong seniors, Amy Dean, Aimee
Miller, and Carrie Zentz, along with mascot Rachael Cunningham.

The Boys Tennis team duplicated the accomplishments of last
years' successful season of finishing in the top eight in the state.
They completed a second consecutive undefeated season and an
overall record of 19-1.
The South Bend Semi-State runner-up team was lead by cap-
tains Tim Miller and Tom Slabach. They finished with outstanding
career records of 80-15 and 71-5 respectively. Adam Scharf at #3
singles finished his junior season with a record of 21-1. His only
loss was in the final match of the season. Juniors Luke Jordan and
Phil Bowser made great strides from the 1995 season to become an
intimidating duo at #1 doubles this season. Junior Chad Zepeda
and freshman Josh Kurtz had a good year and a big win at #2
doubles to help the team win the NLC tournament. Tim Miller,
Tom Slabach, and Adam Scharf were named to the All-Conference
team. Team captains were seniors Tim Miller and Tom Slabach.
The award winners were Goshen Rotary Most Valuable (Tim
Miller), Most Improved (Luke Jordan), WKAM Caches (Tom
Slabach), Beets Hoke Teamwork Award (Phil Bowser), Paul
Underwood Mental Attitude (Adam Scharf), 4-year Award (Tim

Champs, West Noble Champs, Conference Co-Champs,
Conference Meet Champs, Sectional, Regional, and Semi-

The 1996 Goshen High School Girls Cross Country team proved
to be a greatly improved team over teams in recent years. With a
mix of experience and youth the girls squad demonstrated enthu-
siasm and competitiveness each time they ran. The overall team
record was 7-5 and 3-3 in NLC Conference play. Some highlights
of the season were a third place finish at the Lakeland Invitational
Meet and a third place finish at the Elkhart Sectional meet qualify-
ing the team for the Regional meet the following week.
The team was led by the one-two punch of Senior Rachel
Hrynewycz (Captain and WKAM Coaches Award) and Freshman
Joni Sheldon (MVP Award). The most important development of
the season was the team concept of running in a pack to help with
the team scoring. Besides the one-two punch of Hrynewycz and
Sheldon, the team's leading placers were Junior Angelica
Cervantes (Barb Zook Mental Attitude Award), and Freshman
Emily Cooper (Freshman Award), and Anita Marks ( Kiwanis
Scholar Athlete Award).
Looking to the future, the team returns a young group of
runners next year. Add to that a potentially strong contibuting
group of runners from this year's middle school program. The
Goshen High School Girls Cross Country team looks to improve
and achieve even more next year.

The phrase, "We Believe" was heard many times
throughout the football season. The character
and leadership of the Seniors was outstanding.
With the support of the underclassmen, they put
together a remarkable turnaround season and had
quite a few accomplishments. A list of achieve-
ments are many, eight straight victories, beat
#5 team twice, #1 Dekalb, and #4 Fort Wayne
Wayne for a berth in the semi-state at Hobart.
Sectional and Regional Champions!
Offensively, we surpassed 4,200 total yards
and set a school record in rushing with 3,015

1,548 yds., while Senior Brett Sloop ran for 933
yds. For the second straight year Senior Kyle
Park passed for over 1,000 yds. (1,187) and 12
TDs.
Defensively we showed a great deal of improve-
ment, recorded two shutouts with one being in
the Sectional Championship against a very potent
Plymouth offense. We were led by Seniors Tony
Shepard and Ben Ferguson, Tony Asta, Lalo Rolon,
Ben Firkins, Juniors Tim Buss, Kevin Miller and
Jamie Egli.

The girl's team had a record setting season
highlighted by the play of senior Inga Snyder and
the steady contributions by a trio of freshman
Lisa Robertson, Julie Riley, and Erin Sample. The
team posted an 18-3 record, which is the fewest
losses in team history. Snyder broke the school
record for a 9 hole match with a 34 at McCormick
Creek in Nappanee. They were conference champs,
posting a record round of 359. All Conference
players were Lisa Robertson, Erin Sample, and
Inga Snyder who was individual medalist with a
76. The Redskins also went on to win both the
sectional and regional championships, earning
them their first ever state title berth. This
also earned them the number 15 ranking in the
state. Inga Snyder broke her previous 18 hole
record of 75 by shooting a 71 in sectionals,
placing 2nd only to the eventual state champion
Katy Wilkinson, who shot an even par 70. Snyder
was also 2nd in regionals to Wilkinson again, and
posted a 77 on the par 74 Beechwood course in
LaPorte. Wilkinson shot a 75.
At the state finals, the skins shot their aver-
age of 372 but did not advance to the second
round. However, Snyder shot a 79 which was good
enough to advance as an individual. She fired
another 79 for a 154, good enough for 10th place
overall. She was then selected to the All State
and Academic All State teams.
Everyone on the team made steady improvement
and contributed greatly to the teams' success.
Erin Sample earned the coaches awards and Lisa
Robertson the teamwork award. Inga Snyder won the
mental attitude and M.V.P. awards. Julie Riley
was most improved.

This was the third year for the Goshen High
School Varsity and Junior Varsity soccer teams.
GHS is a member of the Northern Lakes Conference
along with six other area schools. GHS began
playing their home games at a new soccer park
just southeast of town. Rollpak Corp. developed
some existing farm land into three new soccer
fields and this is where the Redskins were able
to put down some roots. The Goshen Soccer Park
continues to be developed. This year stadium
lights were added and all varsity home games were
played under the lights. Also, a fence was placed
around the fields and an admission was charged to
the games. The Varsity Soccer team finished the
season with the record of 5-10-3.
Four players received recognition for play in
the Northern Lakes Conference. Daragh Deegan
received an NLC All-Conference unanimous vote,
Stefan Rios and Pal Dahl an NLC All-Conference
selection. Scott Simpson and Randy Valderrama
received NLC Honorable Mention selection. At the
Redskins Award Banquet the following awards were
given: Cu standing JV Player: Ryan Landis;

This year marked the first year for girl's soccer as an
official sport at GHS. Thirty-two girls came out for the
team, making up Varsity and Junior Varsity squads.
One of the goals from the start of the season was for the
girls to learn to play together as a team. The players
worked very hard at this and was led by a strong group
of Seniors.
The team started the season with a bang by winning
the Bethany Jamboree and also winning its opening
game against South Bend Washington. Other highlights
during the season included a last-second victory against
Plymouth and a shutout over Bethany. The team
capped its first season by winning the East Noble
Sectional. This was made possible by a come-from-
behind victory over East Noble in the championship
game.
End of the season awards include: Greta Kauffman
(Most Valuable), Katie Malone (Most Improved), Rosa
Carmona (Coaches Award), Emily Rupp (Teamwork
Award), Cara Landis (Mental Attitude Award), Sara
Simpson (Outstanding Back), Angie Lehman (Hustle

This year's volleyball season was a wham-bammin
good time!! Coached by Terri Blosser, we initiated the
attack by conquering the Memorial Invitational.
Granted, we didn't come in first in the NLC, but we
held our own with every team. Next on the hit list was
Goshen's very own invitational. We pulled out victories
against Lakeland and Jimtown to win another invita-
tional title. Our season came to a disappointing end
when we lost to Northridge in sectionals. Our final
record was a balanced 12-12.

Four Star School
Congratulations Goshen High School Students. You are
attending a Four Star ranked school. This means that the
distinction is given to schools that place in the top 25% in
attendance rates, as well as scoring in the top 25% in Lan-
guage Arts, Mathematics, and Total Battery in the ISTEP
tests.
Mrs. Diane Cartwright, GHS English teacher, had this to
say about the award, "It is something that we should be
proud of: teachers, students, adminstration, and parents."
This award is a high accolade, but it is obvious that Goshen
High School isn't ready to stop at only this level of excel-
lence. We are also awarded with a monetary Indiana
School Improvement Award in the Indiana School Incentive
Award Program. This money will be used to make our
school the best it can possibly be.

The 1996-1997 team was reloading this season after graduating
five seniors, and the entire starting front line from the last years'
15-7 sectional/holiday tourney championship team. With only two
returning starters, this inexperienced team caughtsome people by
surprise by getting off to a great 6-3 start in the first half of the
season while they were hurt in the second half by their lack of size
and experience inside to finish 8-11 overall. In spite of having
difficulty in recovering from the loss of their offensive punch,
defense remained solid throughout the season.
A young junior varsity finished the season 9-9 and ended up
winning the J.V. Tourney for the first time in school history. They
worked very hard to achieve their goals and look very promising
for the future.

This team set Goshen High School records on 3pt. field goal % at
43%. Both Brandon Sorrell (48.6%) and Andy Ganger (48%) broke a
previous record of 47% held by Ryan Gingerich. Andy Ganger's 417
points in a season broke Brent Miller's 385 of last season. Marc
jantzi's F.G.% of 62.9 is third best all-time. Brandon Sorrell is one of
only five players to play more than 700 minutes in a season.
These seniors and this 1996-1997 basketball team will not be
forgotten. This team is one of the best in our regional. We have put
Goshen basketball in respectful position in the area, NLC, and state.
They won 13, lost 10, and were 3-3 in the NLC and played 7 games
without a starter due to injury. Great job boy's!

The girls team made a great adjustment this season in that this was
the first year we were a winter sport with the men's team. We were
led by five returning letterwinners including co-captains Samantha
Karn and Rachel Parsons. We concluded the season with a 7-3-1 dual
meet record placing third in conference. We then placed fifth at
sectional. We had a strong group this season and were paced by 20
underclassmen on our roster. The ladies worked hard and dedicated
themselves to continuing the success of Goshen Swimming-Diving.

This year's Goshen Wrestling team completed a very successful
season finishing the year with a 16-4 dual meet record and placing
second in the NLC behind Wawasee. We returned to the top of the
Northwood Sectional winning the team title and advancing to the
dual meet State Tournament series, before losing to team Regional
champ Jimtown. One of our biggest accomplishments was in our
opening weekend going 10-0 and winning the Valparaiso Invita-
tional, beating several top 10 ranked teams on the way. This bolted
us into the state rankings at 13th, where we stayed in the top 20 for
the rest of the season.
With only three seniors graduating, our outlook for next year
hopes to be even brighter. This year's award winners were:

The 1997 Goshen Redskin baseball team concluded its season
with a 10-20 record. Thirteen of the twenty losses were by two
runs or less. It was an extremely tough season losing so many close
games, but the team never hung their heads, had great attitudes,
worked very hard, and displayed a tremendous amount of class
throughout the season.
The work ethic and the improvement of this team was evident
as the redskins won five of their last six games. During that stretch
Jon Miller threw a two hitter against East Noble, David Troyer
threw a no-hitter against Elkhart Central, and the team put to-
gether a fantastic three game series to win the sectional. The
highlight of the season was obviously winning the sectional
championship at Jimtown on Booster Field. The team beat
Northwood 8-6, Fairfield 6-5, and finally beat Bethany by a
whomping 18-3 to bring home the trophy. The last sectional title
had come in 1990.
The team then took on Mishawaka at Coveleski stadium where
they were finally defeated by a score of 7-2. Mishawaka were the
eventual champions of the South Bend Regional.
The team will lose twelve seniors due to graduation. This group
was a very tight knit bunch. Most will be going to college, and
some will even be playing baseball or football. They were excellent
leaders and will be greatly missed.

The varsity softball team concluded its season with a 11-12
record. There were many positives from this group as they
learned to play as a team. With a blend of 4 seniors, 6 juniors,
and 2 sophomores made up the varsity team this year. The team
began the season with a goal of improving all aspects of the
game from the previous year and in the end accomplished that
goal. The defense became solid and the offense set many season
records. Three ladies broke the season record for most RBI's, led
by sophomore Rachel Price who also set the career RBI record.
Three ladies also broke the season record for total hits, led by
junior Krystal Camacho with 39. Other individual season record
set were batting average (Camacho .513), runs scored (Ann
Braun 33), on-base percentage (Camacho . 717), and Jaime
Rogers tied the season record for double with 10. Team records
broken were batting average, total hits, and on-base percentage.

The Boys Golf team opened their season with 5 returning
lettermen and the potential for a solid season. The group demon-
strated early that their work ethic and attitude would make them
competitive. Some early season highlights included Brandon
Sorrell's 33 on the back nine at Maplecrest and a strong 4th place
in the very competitive 30 team LaPorte Invitational. During the
middle of April through the beginning of May the Redskins had a
13 match win streak. The Skins did however struggle during
conference play finishing 2nd in the round robin but a very
disappointing 5th in the NLC tournament. The Skins did regroup
and finished the dual meet season with a respectable 17-5 record
but ran out of gas in the sectional, finishing a disappointing 6th
despite. The Redskins were led this year by Senior Brandon
Sorrell.

In big meets this team gained confidence and momentum as
the season progressed. In the Goshen Relays we had winning
efforts by Ian Robie in the discus (15T11") and the 4x800m relay
team of Eric Murto, Andrew Mckalips, Jeff Payne and Kris
Allen (8:13.1) but still placed in a drab fifth place but we
bounced back nicely to capture runner-up honors in the Kelly
relays and the NLC meet. NLC champions were Eric Murto in
the 300m low hurdles, Ryan Elliot in the shot put, and the
4x800m relay team of Andrew Mckalips, Murto, Payne, and
Allen. These athletes and Tony Asta were selected to the All-
Conference team. Without a doubt our best showing of the
season came at the sectional meet. Led by school record perfor-
mance by Ryan Friesen in the discus (160'0') and the 4x800m
relay team (8:02.88) and the 1600m run (10 pts.), the Redskins
piled up 83 points for 2nd place and one of the best sectional
performances in sectional history.

The 1997 edition of the Goshen High Scholl Girls Track and Field
Team had a young and enthusiastic look to it. With a roster of 40 girls
and only 12 of those Juniors and Seniors, the season was one of
gaining experience and gaining confidence in competing. The team
ended up with 4 wins and 6 losses, while many of the meets lost were
by a small margin. The Junior Varsity finished its season with 9 wins
and losses.
There were many outstanding performances throughout the
season. The 3200 meter relay team of Rachel Hrynewycz, Emily
Cooper, Alysia Burnett, and Alison Garcia set a new school record.

Crimsonaires
The Crimsonaires are out in the community performing all year round. They do
performances for many community clubs, organizations, and schools. Their year
begins with the Fall Preview and ends with the Spectacular, and throughtout the
Christmas season they are busy spreading holiday cheer with nearly 30 perfor-
mances.
With the spring season in full swing, their schedule has picked up quickly. In the
first two weeks of May the Crimsonaires gave two very special performances for the
volunteer readers and kids they read to at Chamberlain Elementary School. In the
spring a tradition for the Crimsonaires is to visit each one day and perform a number
of songs for the students. The children really enjoy this day because, for one, they
get out of class and, it is a fun time of music and dance. Also in May they took a
trip to perform at the Indy 500 Time Trials. They spent the weekend in Indy and
sang just inside the track on Saturday late in the afternoon.
With the Spectacular coming up the Crimsonaires are busy every Tuesday night
dancing and singing learning new moves to dazzle the audience at the final show.
Although its been a busy year it has certainly been fun.

GHS ADVANCED CHOIR STATE CHAMPS
. . . AGAIN!
For the last several weeks Ms. Yost has been
telling her Advanced Crimson Choir that the key to
performing good music is feeling it in the heart and
touching the soul of every listener. There is an
expression in music that can't be taught or forced.
There is a power in music that must be utilized to
perform the way the Advanced Crimson Choir did
on Saturday, May 8, when they won the ISSMA State
Finals at Perry Meridian High School. The choir
swept the judges off their feet with a heartwarming
performance. The only male judge said, "YOU
BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER!!!"
This is the second state championship title for the
Advanced Choir in the last two years. Two years ago
the choir went to state and knocked the socks off the
judges with a performance that was near perfection.
This year the performance was a breath taking
display of the real power of music. The choir
brought the audience members to tears through their
soulful performance. One of the female judges said,
"It is so unusual to hear such a musical and emo-

The choir performed their award
winning songs at the First Presbyterian
Church on Sunday, June 1. During
this celebration,the public was invited
to help congratulate the choir and see
the video of the performance. Mrs.
Linda Wilson had a cake made with

parents donated cookies and helped
with the reception.

Erinn Dolezal, Co-Editor: Don't think
that yearbook is a blow off class because
that is far from the truth. You have to
work the entire school year non-stop
and into the summer. I'm disappointed
that we didn't get a spring book out, due
to problems with deadlines. Hopefully
next year we will be able too. We have
learned from our mistakes this year and
will use them to make next year's book
better. I hope everyone likes the new
changes. I'll miss you Todd!
Jill Kreider, Co-Editor: My near-fatal
disease of procrastination; days of frus-
tration; hours after school; bad dreams;
and my computer, Joshua. ..what
memorieslWatching Erinn and Todd,
pleading with Adam and Justin for help
at the last minute, testing Shaun's pa-
tience, and living in fear of Nicloe's
sarcasm are the staffers behind my year-
book memories. Thank you; you are all
assets to this book!
Shaun Reynolds, Clubs and Academ-
ics: As a member of the yearbook staff
I learned that it pays "big time" to be
organized. If you are not, things get
really out of control. And that you can
not come into this class with the idea
that it is going to be easy-it's not! This
class is very challenging. Even though
Yearbook was hard I'm glad I took it. I
made alot of new friends.
Adam S. Yoder, Multi- tal-
ented Man: My years at
GHS involved alot of goof-
ing off. I just want to give
some advise "Do anything
you think you want to do,
because life goes by really
fast." In short, "live high
school to it's fullest poten-
tial." Good Luck!

Todd Gingerich, Sports Editor
spent most of his time producing th,
sports section. Todd wished not to g
vertise his "sports editor" title as t<
avoid belittling the importance of fel
low staffers who worked hard on tht
book.
Justin Hardesty, Ads Manager: 1 en
joyed working with everyone on tht
staff. I would also like to say thanks for
all the good times the seniors helped
create. Early in the year I learned tht
chairs in Ms. Yoder's room are rigged
to fall apart if you lean back in them. I
also would like to thank the Elkhart
Area Career Center for letting me mis^
one day so I could finish the ad section
A big thanks to Ms. Yoder for pushing
us the extra inch to get this book done
Nicole Rhinesmith, Photo Editor:
Yearbook has been a fun class for me. I
enjoyed taking pictures and making
up tons of captions for the pictures. I
also had fun making the teacher's sec-
tion and trying to get Jill to do her
section. I would recommend yearbook
or newspaper to anyone who needs a
fun and enjoyable class. Plus the four
seniors are leaving; we really need more
people.

GHS State Champion Choir performs at graduation.
Lots of interesting things have happened during this
school year of 1996-1997. For starters the Beanie Baby craze.
Every store that had them at one point is now sold out and
won't have any more in for months. Now let's not forget
the Teenie Beanie Babies that McDonald's had, People
would wait for hours at the restaurant waiting for the next
shipment to come in. In February Star Wars made a big
comeback with the movie "The Empire Strikes Back." Fans
would wait in line all day until the tickets went on sale and
then buy big numbers of them at a time. The movie was
sold out for weeks and it made a lot of money. At GHS we
had a blood donor day where lots of people gave blood and
then lots of people passed out. When we came back from
Spring Break we were met with the construction crew.
Parts of our school were being torn down and our parking
lot was becoming less. Whiteman is no longer in exsistence.
That was first. By next year our school is going to be less,
but more is going to be added. Now we come to the big
storm that hit on May 18. Houses, cars, businesses were
damaged by this storm. We were out of school for a day
because almost the entire town of Goshen was without
electricity. This year was full of very unusual events, but at
the same time they were very exciting.
